I have a 2018 Ford Mondeo 1.5 TDCI ( XUCA Engine )I am planning to change the Fuel Filter. It looks to be a straight forward Job but the Research I have done on line and YT gives conflicting information regarding what to do when fitting the new Filter. A The car is fitted with LP fuel pump in...

Thanks. Push fit it is. I've got plastic pipe cutters but that were ok new but now seem to squash plastic pipe a good bit before cutting. Had thought about the 22mm option but already purchased the 25-15mm fitting. Probably best I go for you suggestion and get a 22mm - 15mm stop tap

My Garage has a Tap fitted inside. There's an 25mm ( I think ) MDPE Pipe comes up through the floor that is then fitted to 22mm Copper and reduced to 15mm for the Tap. I want to take the tap outside through the wall . However, when I turn the stop cock off inside the house the Tap is not...

Many Thanks All for the explanations and help. I have brown sleeving to mark Wires that are switched Live and will fit when I get on with this. Looking at the diagram offered by EFLimpudence I think this is the way I'll go as there will only be One Connector Block / Wago to fit in the Back box

I'm Gradually working my way through the house painting all the Varnished doors, Facings and skirtings. Finished upstairs rooms and now come to the staircase. All the varnished wood is done with a water based stained Varnish ( I Know cos i did it myself about 15 years ago. I'm sanding / Keying...

We have 2 way switching on our stairs. I want to get another switch put rights outside our Bedroom door which is at the end of the upstairs landing. At present there's only a switch at the top of the stairs and the bottom. I know that the top landing switch would need to be changed for an...

Thanks all for the Input. Considering the age of the window ( 1992 )and maybe looking ahead into the future when I can afford to replace, I decided to go with stainless steel button head screws with a flat head for a good mating surface.. Googling brass screws in Aluminium shows they are highly...

Not sure if heating the screw would be beneficial if its actually snapping of in the wood like the two I tried already have done. Its not seized in the Aluminium, just heavily corroded in the wood

Hello all Remember me?. Its been a while but the Glazing replacement sealing kit arrived and there is a spell of good weather for a few days so decided to have a go at this today. However, I though before it took the window out I would see if the screws that hold the Aluminium strip down would...

To answer a couple of questions It's not a new install unless the regs say that replacing is a new install The protective core of the SWA is being used to earth. It runs under the house ( not buried ) and into the garage which is built onto the end of the house.

Thanks for that. It actually 2 core SWA to the garage CU. 10mm I think

House is 1992 build Timber Framed. Main House CU is an old Wylex that had Fused Wire type Fuses, but have been changed out for Wylex MCBs at some point. The Garage is fed from this through a 20A MCB to tghe Garage CU ( old )Fused type also. ) My intention is to have both replaced with New RCBO...

Wow, that was dangerous. Luckily my 2 windows are quite low and not above where people could stand / sleep

Thanks, Really informative The new Glass unit I have is Toughened Glass. The Window is at a reasonable height ( about Hip height but its in a kinda cramped space for access by two people, hence my query about doing in situ. I've got a couple of decent quality double suction cups for lifting...

I Know this is quite an old post, but just wondering how you got on with the Pane replacement. Did you manage to do it with the Sash in situ ?. I'll be doing this myself shortly with an old GGL606. Velux no longer do the Conversion kits for this size nor do the supply the 15mm glazing units, but...

Thanks I Opted for the Kit in the End. Just waiting for a spell of weather to get the Job Done. New screws included right enough. There are some small black butyl patches included also. Are these for sealing the new screws ?

Hi, Its the glass to aluminium profile side I was referring to. I think this is where the Butyl seal goes I think ?
